Stiga Tube Offensive WRB

Very good offensive blade. I use Donic Bluefire M2 on the forehand and Donic Bluefire JP03 on the backhand. With this setup, the paddle has great control and allows me to do pretty much anything: serve return, short game, topspin, drive, and smash. One downside to this blade is that it is more fragile compared to Butterfly blades.

Played this blade some years ago, but also for three years at least. I should try it again. I sorted my Tube Off (84 g) out because of increasing breakings of the core. It lost stability and stiffness. It felt really special with its fine and sensitive vibrations.

I bought another one secondhand (87 g). It vibrated more roughly but was faster also. I didn’t like it. So I repaired my better one (glued the core) and put a new outer ply on it. I’m about to test it. But my Yinhe T-7 (rated here 0.4 less in speed) is a lot faster than the Tube Off.

Played mid-soft rubbers on the bh and medium (mostly Nitttaku Hammond pro alpha) rubbers on fh. I wouldn’t recommend hard Chinese rubbers on the Tube Off because of the medium hard hitting moment.

Best blade.

This is the best blade I’ve ever used. It has amazing control and speed, and it feels great in my hand. I’ve been playing table tennis for over 10 years, and this is the best blade I’ve ever used. I would definitely recommend this blade to anyone looking for a high-quality blade.

Good Blade.

Large spot. The feeling is medium (not so hard). So, soft and medium rubbers are a good choice.

I felt this blade was a little heavy with two rubbers (I’m a penholder with RPB).

Control and speed depend on the ability of each player. However, the controller is generally faster.

Stiff and great offensive blade. I played it with JO Platin & DHS H2. It is pretty good. If you get this blade, attack more!

A really good blade that has served me well over the years. It’s stiff and hard, making it ideal for flat hits and smashes. My blade has a straight handle with a good grip.

However, I think the Stiga wrb handles are too hollow. I prefer larger sized blades because I hit the edges too often when looping and driving. Oversized blades offer better balance and a larger sweet spot. Of course, there are both pros and cons to consider with any blade choice.

This blade is stiff, which provides good speed and control. The speed is similar to that of the Clipper, another popular table tennis blade.
